Azmaveth עַזְמָ֫וֶת
Descendant of Saul, son of Jehoaddah
Who is Azmaveth in the Bible?
Azmaveth was a descendant of Saul, the first king of Israel, and the son of Jehoaddah (1 Chronicles 8:36, 9:42). He appears in the genealogical records of Saul's family line, which are documented in two parallel passages in the book of Chronicles. While Azmaveth himself is not described as performing any significant actions in scripture, his inclusion in these genealogies underscores the biblical practice of preserving the family records of Israel's royal line and demonstrates the continuity of Saul's descendants after his death.
